Kai had his first hair trim this morning and Lorna wanted a bob. She has decided that life is too short to spend time on tangles - I love a girl who knows herself so well! I was so nervous to trim Kai's golden curls, but it seems to curl up so much better now. He wasn't so happy while it happening, though.
Elizabeth took Lorna out for a local ballet performance in Broomfield after lunch. Lorell came by for a visit and caught me vacuuming the garage during Kai's nap. I have never in my life vacuumed a garage.
After dinner I wrapped the requisite eight gifts in red wrapping. Also wrapped the plane gifts for the kids. Trying desperately to prepare as best as possible for the trip. We will be in transit for 25 hours. Our itinerary beginning May 22 and arriving late on the 23rd is as follows:
Denver - San Francisco (3 hours)
3 hours layover
San Francisco - Hong Kong (14 hours)!!!!!
4 hours layover in HK
Hong Kong - Guangzhou - 1 hour
We'll be at the White Swan hotel in Guangzhou for the entire 2 weeks.
And in attending to all these details it also seems important to stop, reflect, and feel the wonder of how our children find their way to us - or maybe how we all find our way to one another.
"An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet,
regardless of time, place, or circumstance.
The thread may stretch or tangle,
but it will never break."
- an ancient Chinese belief
